        • He himself will be fine, being an army member and in his staton bunker all the time, but his family...

          Talking about army members, what functions do you and Siro serve during this conflict? Do you participate actively in all these oh so evil activities in 'occupied' territory? I mean are you in field or just translating radio messages?

            • Lots of rambling in the media now - most of it old news already, it seems. Libanese sources claim an Israeli F16 was shot down earlier today. Israel denies this. Then there are rumors about Israeli ground forces entering Lebanon. Supposedly, the IDF denied having ground troops in Lebanon at the moment, but confirmed that a "limited operation" was carried out last night.

              The Haifa harbor is supposedly closed at the moment.

              • So, the an Israeli airstrike wounded three Belgians lightly.

                Can I throw a molotov cocktail to a synagoge now ?

                *not that i am going to do that of course, but can anyone explain me how this would be low and immoral ? (hold the other party to the same standards and all)*

                • Hmmm. Olmert in his speech right now is putting a lot of emphasis on the patience that the Israeli population in the north must show. Doesnt look like this is going to end soon.

                    You really need this question answered? Mein Gott.

                    Jew =! Israeli. So attacking a synagoge in Belgium or wherever you're from is not only wrong, but likely targets people who have nothing at all to do with the situation in Israel/Lebanon (and quite possibly disagree with Israel's policies).

                    The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

                      • Perhaps not. But if I ruled out responding to trollish posts, that would really cut down on my posting at 'poly.

                        Oh, wait...

                        • Do you people even know what a troll is?

                          I'll be constructive and help you: it's someone who posts solely for the provocation.

                          In my opinion dannubis is not trolling but trying to get across a point. Work out which point on your own.

                          • You think his "point" has any validity?

                            The Belgians that were hurt were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They certainly were not the targets. They are, unfortnately, in a war zone. It's not in any way their fault, of course, but that's the situation. Israel is after Hezbollah, which operates from Lebanon. The Belgians had the misfortune of being in Lebanon right after Hezbollah picked a fight with Israel.

                            To equate that to throwing a molotav cocktail at a synagoge is either a) really poorly thought-out; or b) a troll.

                            • A BBC news team travelling through southern Lebanon found a paper tissue factory that had been destroyed by the Israelis. A real military target, that.

                              It's hard to see what the Israelis are hoping to achieve with this, apart from inflicting Palestinian-style collective punishment on Lebanon. Let's face it, the non-Hezbollah Lebanese aren't willing or able to restart the civil war, and any realistic level of Israeli punishment beatings isn't going to change their minds.

                              • Valid question. I often wonder what Israel is trying to accomplish when it blows **** up. I don't really question trying to nail leaders of terror orgs, but blowing up "infrastructure" (which is a rather broad category) strikes me as counterproductive overkill.
